POWERGRID Corporation of India Limited (POWERGRID) has secured a major transmission infrastructure project aimed at supporting upcoming green hydrogen and green ammonia developments in Andhra Pradesh. The company announced that it has been declared the successful bidder under the Tariff-Based Competitive Bidding (TBCB) process and received the Letter of Intent (LoI) on June 12, 2026.
The development was disclosed through a regulatory filing submitted under Regulation 30 of the SEBI (Listing Obligations and Disclosure Requirements) Regulations, 2015. The filing was made to the National Stock Exchange (NSE) and BSE by Anjana Luthra, Company Secretary and Compliance Officer of POWERGRID.
The project, titled “Transmission System for Proposed Green Hydrogen/Green Ammonia Projects in Kakinada Area (Phase-I),” will be executed on a Build, Own, Operate, and Transfer (BOOT) basis.
